I Can't Play Any Custom Maps On The Server Anymore

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have almost all the custom maps downloaded and in my maps folder, but when i try playing on the nom server when it's running a custom map it says that I am missing the map and kicks me. I have tried manually reinstalling them from the nom downloads archive, and I still get the same error.

That is very odd. I was going to suggest an issue with your DNS since the server move, but you say you already have the maps, and the download URL worked from your browser...

Try these:

Are the maps in the proper directory? Make sure they are in tf/download/maps, or tf/custom/(anything)/maps. NOT tf/maps

Did you extract them from the bz2 archive after you downloaded them manually?

I'm confused by this. My directory where all my custom maps have always been installed is tf/maps, and that has worked fine. I tried creating the folders you mentioned (which did not previously exist) and copying over the map files and this did not fix the issue. And I am properly extracting them.

If those both check out, I might suggest switching to a public DNS like OpenDNS(208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) or Google DNS(8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). I personally use OpenDNS.
